THE WEEKLY for LIBRARIANS COLLECTORS, BOOKSELLERS AND ALL READERS

“It caters for collectors, for librarians, and for ‘the trade’; it deals with prints as well as with books; and bibliography, book-buying, ‘forgotten books,’ books fresh from the publisher, literary biography, and all things that come under the very generous classification ‘curiosities of literature’ are adequately treated in its pages by men who know and love their subject.”—Westminster Gazette.

“‘The Sign of the Open Book’ is an inspiring registration. ‘The Bookman’s Journal and Print Collector,’ issued under that banner, is a gem among weekly periodicals.”—Daily Express.
